The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a PIL challenging the practice of appointing deputy chief ministers and said this does not breach the Constitution. 

바카라œThis is just a label and even if you call someone a deputy chief minister, it does not change the status,바카라 a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachaud and Justices J B Pardiwala  and Manoj Misra said while trashing the PIL filed by the Public Political Party.

바카라œA deputy CM is first and foremost a minister in the government of the state and this does not breach the Constitution,바카라 the bench said, adding that it does not create a class in itself.

The lawyer, appearing for the PIL petitioner, said states are setting a wrong example by appointing deputy chief ministers and this violates Article 14 (right to equality) under the Constitution. The bench said such appointments do not breach any constitutional provisions.
